A view of the future?
Hi guys, I don't know if you remember me or not, but I had (and have) a big interest in SSTI, and in the process research the other flash memory players quite a bit. One of the ways I do so is by watching the patent streams.
Every Tuesday the USPTO publishes it's new patents, and this one in particular by Sandisk I thought was worth a look:
164.195.100.11;

If you have a TIFF-enabled viewer, you can click on the images button down below, and look at a memory device that looks much like a military "dog tag" complete with a hole for a string/chain.. perhaps this is of some interest to you all.. I can help you with more information if you'd like.
All the best, docpaul |
